Star Wars. There are few, if any , franchises with a more dedicated fan base. And yet it is a fan base that has been bitterly fractured thanks to countless re-edits to the original trilogy and a prequel trilogy that was not what many fans had expected.
Today Jake and I will discuss why so many fans born at least ten years before Phantom Menace was released dislike the Special Editions of the original trilogy as well as the prequels. We also discuss why younger generations of Star Wars fans are totally fine with them.
Oh yeah, can you believe The Force Awakens is finally upon us?!
